If you are using Debian or Ubuntu (or apt):

1. Modify your sources.list to include the tor repository
https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en

2. Modify
Debian: Unattended-Upgrade::Origins-Pattern
Ubuntu: Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins
to include the packages you want updated:

$EDITOR /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
